Miller Mod Saws and the CS-500P Echo!

[Hedgerow]

I'll be running the one I have here some today, and even more tomorrow. The weather is supposed to be beautiful......so we are gonna make firewood.

Just got in..
Made firewood...
500p is slow..
But I still like it..
Don't know why.. It's just sturdy..
And predictable.
And runs forever on a tank of fuel.

Hi Matt!

Howdy Carl..
These 500's sure need help..
But sure are light n handy.

I agree! And the 490 is supposedly the same saw but lighter yet

To me they are like a Honda. Might not be the most sexy, but built like a tank and damn reliable. Good ergos, nice fit and finish. It might not be the hare, but I'll be jiggered if the tortoise didn't win that race anyway.

They wake up very nicely.

Never gonna be a ported 346.....but, they ain't bad......

Another reason I carry the little bugger on the tractor with me, is it seems to run forever on a tank of gas and oil..

 

[Hedgerow]

And it don't leak bar oil in the tool box...
Lol..

Randy you said you had a 600 on the bench! Any chance it has a similar enough carb to the 500 to get it to bolt on. You know 14-14.5 mm venturi. Lol.

7910 carb bolts up but would haft to have a bigger intake boot. Lmao.

And i don't want one quite that big!

I managed to run a tank thru the little feller today. I'm completely happy with the way this saw runs. I also had a ported 346 with me. This Echo ain't much behind.

I'm ready to go play with fin460. I know he has a nice mastermind 2153 to kick my butt!

 

[Mastermind]

The 346 is faster.....but not like I thought it would be.

I'd appreciate some pics on the 600 I have two 590s and need some ideas . Thanks dave

 

[Mastermind]

I plan on doing a thread on it Dave. We cut yesterday.....so I'll be finishing it up today.

 

[Czed]

Thank you sir. I think you did one year's ago but all the pics were lost.

Well guys I'm gonna drag this back up for daddy pride! I have 2- 11 year old sons and this particular one has fell in love with the echo. Which makes this build even better. Light nimble and they can handle it with no prob. So excuse the crappy vid but gonna show it anyway!

 

[jmssaws]

I wish there was a echo dealor around here,good looking saw and it looks to run mighty fine.

 

[Czed]

I'm going to try some of your mods on my 490 the one's I have tools to do them with. thanks for the info I like these saws and knew there was more to be had out of them.
